The winner of R.S. Walsh Landscaping’s December photo contest is Karen Krooswyk. The theme of the December contest was “sea creatures.” Submitted photos were posted on R.S. Walsh’s In The Garden Facebook page and at the company’s Sanibel garden center. Visitors to the Facebook page and the garden center were able to vote on their favorites. Krooswyk’s photo of a crab received the most votes. Karen was walking on the Sanibel beach near the lighthouse on the morning of December 8 and came across the crab.
She will receive a $50 gift certificate to In The Garden and her photo will be printed in a local newspaper. Honorable Mentions go to Cliff Beittel, Kim Short, Diane Silhavy and Judie Ann Zimomra.
